ARTYAiShares Future AI & Tech ETF

IGPTBInvesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF

In short

ARTY Launched in 2018 as a robotics fund, ARTY switched benchmarks in 2024 and came back as a focused global AI portfolio: about 50 companies across chips, data centers, software and services, at a below-median theme fee.

IGPT Born in 2005 as a software fund, re-aimed at AI in 2023. IGPT holds about 100 global companies that earn at least half their revenue from next-gen software work, at 0.57% a year.

Stated mandate

ARTY The fund seeks to track a global index of companies contributing to artificial-intelligence technologies across software, infrastructure, and services.

IGPT The fund provides exposure to global companies associated with next-generation artificial intelligence and software themes.

Why people hold it

  • ARTY 0.47% a year against a 0.68% median for AI-theme funds. The thematic markup is smaller here than on most of the shelf, though XAIX and QTUM undercut it.
  • Global by design. The index pulls from US and non-US companies contributing to AI across generative AI, data and infrastructure, software and services.ishares.com
  • A multi-billion-dollar, actively traded iShares fund, so getting in and out doesn't hinge on thin volume.
  • Stacks up as one of the stronger builds in a crowded AI cohort on cost, structure and staying power.
  • IGPT Real purity screen: a company needs at least 50% of revenue from software-development subsectors to qualify, then the 100 largest by free float make the index.sec.gov
  • Weighting multiplies free-float size by revenue exposure to the theme, with concentration caps, so the purest plays get credit, not only the biggest companies.stoxx.com
  • Global and all-cap by design: developed and emerging markets, large caps down to small, instead of the usual huddle of US mega-cap tech.sec.gov
  • At 0.57% a year it sits below the AI-theme median fee, and it is a billion-dollar-plus, moderately traded fund that rates among the stronger builds in a crowded field.

Worth knowing

  • ARTY The record before August 2024 belongs to a different strategy: as IRBO it tracked a robotics and AI index, then moved to the Morningstar Global AI Select Index.ishares.com
  • About 50 names in one theme. The AI trade sets the tone here, and that concentration works in both directions.
  • Distributions land once or twice a year and are incidental. This is a growth-theme equity fund, not an income holding.
  • IGPT The history before August 2023 belongs to a different strategy: it traded as Invesco Dynamic Software (PSJ) on a US-only Intellidex index until the AI rebuild.sec.gov
  • Cheaper ways to own the theme exist, including XAIX at 0.35% and ARTY at 0.47%.
  • One theme, global, with emerging-market and smaller names in the mix, so day-to-day swings can run hotter than a broad tech fund.sec.gov
